# Usage Overview
Paperless is an application that manages your personal documents. With
the help of a document scanner (see [the scanners wiki](https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/wiki/Scanner-&-Software-Recommendations)), paperless transforms your wieldy physical document binders
into a searchable archive and provides many utilities for finding and
managing your documents.
